GARHWAL KUMAON EXPLORE TREK |
|||||||||
GARHWAL - KUMAON HIMALAYAN EXPLORATION
Nanda Devi Situated in the eastern provinces of Garhwal and
Kumaon , Nanda Devi " goddess of joy " in Hindu mythology, is the highest ( at
7818 m ), and the most sacerd of all the peaks in the Indian Himalaya. The
valley of the Rishi Ganga divides the peaks of Nanda Devi , Which are the two
most impressive mountain groups in the entire Indian Himalaya.
This enchanting area and in particular this deep valley , which formerly
provided an important trade route between India and Tibet , has traditionally
been off - limits to foreign travellers. However , with very strict " Inner line
" Restricted area regulations now somewhat relaxed , the pristine Rishi Ganga
Valley is now accessible and we provide a fascinating itinerary in this mountain
stronghold.
We have a long mountain drive
of nearly 190 kms today, following the Pindar River to the town of Debal. We
turn off here and climb up a steep mountain road, which takes us to Mandoli at
the start of the trek. Mandoli is a delightful village built in the traditional
Kumaon style with stone roofs and carved wooden supports. We camp here at an
altitude of 2134m.
Day 2.
In the morning our team of porters will arrive and
we will set off on the first stage of our trek. We have a steady climb up to the
Lohajang Col at 2590m which we cross to reach the valley of the Bedni Ganga. We
descend on the north side of the pass down to the river before climbing back up
to the little village of Didina (2439m) where we camp.
Day 3.
Today is a steep trek through oak trees and large
stands of bamboo up to Ali Bugyal. From here we can enjoy an expansive view of
the Garhwal peaks. We continue trekking through thick forests as far as Bedni
Bugyal (Bugyal means meadow in the local Garhwali dialect). Very occasionally
the brown Himalayan bear can be encountered on this section of the trail, but it
is an elusive animal. From Bedni Bugyal we have an excellent view of the various
summits of Trisul (7120m) and the peaks of the north of Garhwal. Bedini Bugyal
is a charming green meadow adorned with a myriad of colourful flowers. There is
a lake situated in the middle of the meadow where Hindu pilgrims come to bathe,
and nearby is a small temple.
Day 4. We descend on the north side of the pass down to the river and reach the village of Wan (2450m) where we camp.
Day 5.
The trek today is a short day
for 9 km to Kunol village (2286 m). Overnight in tents. Evening enjoy
the Beautiful tiny Indian tradanational Kunol village (2286 m).
Day 7.
We begin the morning with a stiff climb out of the Nandakini valley heading
towards the watershed which marks the divide with the Brithi Ganga valley.
Climbing up through these remote villages we may be lucky enough to see various
large birds of prey including lammergeyer, eagles and griffin vultures. Before
us we can gaze over a classic Garhwal landscape of rolling green hills with
distant snow-capped peaks. Our destination for the evening is a campsite in a
terraced meadow above the village of Ramni (2450m). A long day but a rewarding
one.
Day 8. From Ramni we
begin to follow part of the route that Shipton and Tilman took during their
pioneering exploratory trip to the Rishiganga gorge and the inner sanctuary of
Nanda Devi. We have a gentle ascent through open grazing meadows interspersed
with occasional shepherds huts. These gradually give way to thick forests of oak
and rhododendron. After lunch we have a steep descent to Jenjapani village and
our campsite (1850m) in the gorge of the Brithi Ganga river.
Day 9.
We cross a wide suspension bridge and make a steep
climb out of the gorge to the ridge at 2300 metres. The path levels out and
contours around the valley side, crossing several small tributary rivers and
waterfalls including one which offers a great opportunity for a shower. After a
steady climb we arrive at more grazing meadows where from we get our first view
of the Kuari pass. Shortly after this we reach our camp at the meadows of Satoli
(3050m) where there are a variety of shepherds huts.
Day 10.
An early start today as we head to the Kuari Pass.
We begin with a steep climb, which eases off as we approach the base of the
pass. The Kauri pass is not difficult and the trail, which zig-zags up to the
top is well constructed. From the crest of the pass at 4268 meters we are
rewarded with an incomparable view, which so moved Eric Shipton over 60 years
ago. The mountains are arranged before us in a magnificent arc including Nanda
Devi (7816m), Dunagiri (7066m) and Changabang (6864m). To the north we can see
the Chaukamba range including Nilkanth (6598m) and the distant Zanskar range
with the distinctive peak of Kamet at 7756m extends towards the border with
Tibet. We descend for a few hundred metres on the north side of the pass and
camp in a meadow at 3800m with a fantastic sunset view over Nanda Devi.
Day 11. On our last day of trekking the trail descends continuously downhill through small villages and cultivated fields to Auli. Once a small, obscure village this is now India’s premier ski resort, although there ought not to be snow here when we pass through. If the ski lift is operating, it may be possible to ride the last 500 metres down to the village where we stay in a local hotel.
Day 12. After breakfast we drive the short distance down to the valley and the town of Josimath. We continue our drive down the Alaknanda valley as far as close to the town of Rishikesh.
